True, it's a special case, but the image would be recoverable each and every time. If not... highly doubtful. Huh? What if I blanked out any occurrence of a specific p...

Nerdsnipes

I have a feeling that just about everybody who frequents this board probably pays enough attention to xkcd to know what a nerdsnipe is. I have a habit of "nerdsniping" myself, by coming up with interesting problems. However, I usually don't know enough to solve them alone. So, I thought a ...
